HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A San Antonio Drummer the Victim of q
Road Agent.

AsOeA0 AEthLs
Mr.. Lee b. Miller, the western drum
mer for NJ. Half & Bro, OF this city,
came In last night from trip with his
ambulance through the upper country,
about Mason, Fredericksburg and Com
fort. He reports that while he and his
cOlored driver were coming from Com
fort towards Boerne, and when about
seven miles from Boerne, yesterday
morning, Mt the point where tue Com
fort road turns of from the road TO Fred
erieksburg and BOerne, he was stopped
by masked man who came out
suddenly from the excellent am
bush afforded at this point, and with
a 45-calibre pistol In hand, pointed at
his head, ordered him TO stop and de-
liver up his money or his life. Lee
reached for mis- shotgun, which WAS
only loaded with bird shot, but the
weapon dropped from his hand,
when he heard the road agents
pistol click ut full cock, and
he quietly got off the ambulance, threw
up his hands and allowed the robber to
take off his silver watch and hair watch
guard and secure $3.50 In cash from his
pockets. The robber walked of on his
heels to avoid being followed by his
footprints, and did not even
trouble himself to search the
driver or look in the ambulance, or he
would have secured more wealth, as
Miller claims he had 5000 In cash In the
vehicle. While the rObber was search
ing him he discovered what he at first
thought was pistol In his hip
pocket, and asked Miller what il
was "lts only my order book"
said Lee, drawing 1t forth, IL suppose
you know I'm a drummer" "Yes,"
replied the fellow, IL know you are"
After walking OFF, the ambulance was
allowed by the robber to proceed on its
way and when they reached Boerne they
at once informed Sheriff Bodemsn, who
organized posse Of deputies and
got on the road Immediately, and have
been trailing the man by horseback ever
since. lie is reported to have found
where the man mounted a good horse
that was hitched In the bushes q short
distance from the road. and 1t Is by the
horses hOofs he Is being trailed. Mr..
Miller describes his man as Of about 8
feet or 8 inches In height, weight about
100 to 40 pounds, with light blue eyes,
(seen through the calico mask and of
sandy or blonde complexion. He wore no
coat or shirt, his upper body being
clothed In an undershirt. Boerne people
seem to think he was railroad hand
by this circumstance OF his wearing an
undershirt, as the regulation road
agent is supposed not to be such dude
as to sport an undershirt.
The sherlff's posse, when they arrived
at the place OF the robbery, found Mr..
Miller's watch and guard chain hanging
to bush. The robber, Ii is supposed,
having upon second thought, come to
the wise conclusion that it might
through its number and other peculiari-
ties one day prove the means of Identi-
flying him. MIR. Miller met Deputy
Sheriff Herbert Ingenhuett q few min
utes before the robbery occurred. He
was riding from BOerne toward Comfort
and must have passed close by where
the rObber was lying in wait for him.
